UNDERSTANDING OWN RESPONSE TO BODY IMAGE Task 2.1

Identify feelings around own body image

How do you feel about your personal image ? do you like how you look and do you feel under pressure to look a certain way ? if yes where does the pressure come from

I feel that my body image is getting better and i need to still improve parts of me e.g my behaviour and my attitude. I think i look alright but i feel that i have to buy new clothes to look better because at the present for teenagers you have to try look better than each other. The pressure comes from the music and your friends because you want to look good for girls and your social media.

This is what most people expect people to wear at the present moment this costs about £60-£115 and then the trainers cost about £75-£120 and the only way for people our age to obtain these clothes is buy them and look after them till your next birthday or christmas thats huge amounts of pressure because you have to keep up with fashion and fashion doesn't always stay the same.

UNDERSTANDING OWN RESPONSE TO BODY IMAGE Task 1.2

1 Identify a group of people that we constantly see online or on  TV and talk about what they do. Do they present a positive image for young people to follow.

We constantly see footballers on TV and that gives us a image in ours heads that they are positive but in reality they are just impressive and good at showing their lives in a way that makes people think they want that but really it has taken them a long time to get were they are and probably had a lot of peoples help aswell.

SOUND AND AUDIO PRODUCTION

 0113

Today i was in the recording studio recording my tune 0113

I has to set up the equipment and had to make sure that all the health and safety was place so no food or drinks in the studio and i had to make sure all wires were safely out of the way we used logic pro to record the music

I wrote my bays on my phone to start with then finished them off and printed out a copy 

 It took a few takes to get it right but it sounded really good in the end using a SE2200 condenser mic for the best sound quality in the sound proofed audio booth

When i finished recording the vocals i had to mix it and add effects like reverb and compression to make it sound professional

this was a great day or me i learnt a lot about how to record and about how much work it takes i had to make sure that i follwed health and safety this meant being carefull with how loud it was in the studio and not staring at the screen for too long

what didn't go so well was having to do so many takes as i kept having to start again to make sure it was perfect

To improve my work i would make sure i know the words off by heart so i can concentrate on the performance in the booth
A copy of the recording is in the song writing folder on my desktop the video is called 0113

UNDERSTANDING OWN RESPONSE TO BODY IMAGE Task 1.3 30/6/17

2  when online, watching TV or listening to the news who is underrepresented and why ?
when answering this think about day to day life and the people we depend on

The Army is underrated because they fight and help save the country we live in but footballers get more money than them for kicking a ball in a net.

This is the what they do to protect their country  and stay ready and fit for service

Using Aural Skills in Music 4.2 16/6/17

Task 4.2

Listen to a range of music with contrasting styles from

Opera singing, soul singing, Pop music to Rap and talk about the differences in articulation and the importance of how words or notes are expressed and how this gives meaning to the song

Bugzy Malone fire in the booth debut

The lyrics in this tune are very intense this is because it is a real life story

his delivery is fast but very clear and you can understand every word the song is very dark and this shows in how his words are delivered he sounds angry and this comes across in the sound of his voice . the sound of his voice is very important to the song to make it believable.

Dr.Dre- I Need A Doctor ft. Eminem,Skylar Gray

The lyrics in this tune are upsetting because it tries to remind you of someone you might have lost or they left. Its slow when the chorus kicks in but the verses are fast because they're rap. Her singing calms the tune down but when Eminem raps it makes it sound like he's mad at Dre. The contrast between the singing and rapping is good because there 2 different things and they help the tune flow.

Nessun Dorma

The lyrics and the flow make you feel tired and drowsy when your listening this music is quite relaxing. It also makes me curious to know he is talking about because its a different language. Its reminds me of a song that would suit the movie titanic. His voice is powerful and they way he sings is what makes you feel his lyrics.

Using Aural Skills in music Task 3.2 16/6/17

Task 3.2

Using the same selection of songs point out where notes have been lengthened or shortened these notes can be vocal or instrumental, talk about how changing the length of notes can impact on an expression or the articulation in a song 

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

The beginning of the song is when the notes are long these notes that they're singing the notes in the first verse there long the second section that sounds like an opera the notes get shorter this has a scary and confusing effect on the sound  in the guitar solo the note are long this has a rock feel and makes you want to nod your head at the end the notes are long this gives the song a sad ending . The different note  sizes make the song very interesting and helps to tell the story

This song starts off very slowly with just soft vocals the first change is at mama where the drums come in it becomes like a rock song. this section makes you feel like you are floating and in a peaceful place . The next section is like an opera with very short notes and it sounds like an echo then in the next section with just vocals it started to feel a bit weird and scary it began to get louder and the rhythm began to be a stomping sound.The guitar solo makes you feel like your on a ride at a theme park it a upbeat section. At the final section the beat slows right down and chills out and begins to sound like chilled elevator music

SPY'S

The scene is set on USA soil in a state that is called California. There is a big group of secret Russian spy's and they all have a mixed military background who were sent to rig the presidential elections. These people are:

Dom: funny school kid

Paul: The chosen leader

Jack: Part of the US Marines

Rose jr: The younger in the group                                                                                                                                                            

It was the start of the biggest American election in history when a group of American secret service men got a important call from the president of the USA about a big drug collection that was happening near Venice beach at 7'o clock at night. That night they went to scout the docks were the drug collection was going to take place but when they got there they realised that the president had set them up. A group of  mercenaries working for the president took them to a warehouse in the middle of nowhere and tied them all up and started to torture them to try get information about the missions that they've been on in there lifetimes and how did they manage to infiltrate the American secret service. Jack quietly managed to slip a knife from up his sleeve and cut everyone free. After they left the warehouse they fled to the closest airport and took a flight washington.

When they got to the middle of the flight there was a call on the plane that there was a bomb on the plane so they needed to land as fast as they could. When they got to the airport the presidents mercenaries were there in different clothing acting like the bomb squad that  needed to search the plane. Suddenly the plane powered down but the group of spies had a way out through a shaft to the top of the plane where then they could jump off the wings. When they escaped they managed to hot wire a car so they could drive to the white house were the president was. They managed to get into the white house because there passes were still active no one suspected any thing was going to happen. When they entered the presidents office there was no presence that he was there. They went through every draw and look through every cabinet and the found a safe behind a glass box. When Rose Jr was in school she learnt how to crack a safe open. 1 hour later she opened the safe door and found a iphone 7 plus in a box which confused them but they figured that i must be important so they opened the phone and found all of the USA's NUCLEAR CODES.   

                                   

They tried to open the window to escape with the nuclear codes. The shutter came down over all the windows and the doors there was no way out of the white house for the secret service to go. Suddenly the presidents mercenaries burst in through the door and shouted get down. The mercenaries asked the Russian spies to return the codes they had just taken from the presidents safe. Dom handed over the codes to the mercenaries then  turned around and walked off to get back in their car. that was the last time the spies ever seen them again. This concludes that the government isn't as secure as we think

GREED

There was a group of men from a city called Leeds, they lived in the posh area in leeds and they were all very wealthy from various unlawful jobs they had done over the years. All they did from day to day was lounge around thinking of ways to make themselves even richer.They had lots of money coming in from several businesses  they each had but it seem that no amount of money would ever satisfy them . One of these men knew of a way to steal the rarest car on the planet the LYKAN HYPERSPORT but it wasn't to just have a nice car its was to sell for $3.4m this could be a good way to get some easy money the only problem was that it was at the top of the BURJ KHALIFA. So this would need some carful thinking and planning.

It was going to be the longest and darkest night of the year on Saturday so thats when they would be able to take the car .The next day they arranged a way of making all the lights go out for 2 hours at 8:00pm this meant bribing one of the workers at the local power station and he said they had 1hour to get in and get the car out of the building whilst the city was in chaos and everyone was distracted they would need to drive the car through the building next to the BURJ KHALIFA through all the floors as these buildings were built to host big car shows which gave them lots of entrances and exits for cars.

Saturday night comes and the guys put the plan into action what they didn't bank on was that the guy they bribed was a part time police man so there was a full squad of armed police waiting for them when they got there and tried running and got shot in their legs and taken to prison for a triple armed robbery charge for the rest of their lives that's what happens when you have greed for something in life.

Music For Performance 27/1/17

MUSIC FOR PERFORMANCE

]Task 1 a

The mood created is quite upbeat and has a good vibe also the atmosphere is a party mood and the babies what are dancing make people think people think that it funny at the same time as the music is making them dance a little bit too. When other people look at this they think it is different to other adverts so there carry on watching it.

THE LIONS CAGE

The lion’s cage music has a quite tense and high pitched also it makes you feel the sorrow for a person nearly dyeing but it has a sense of relief because he gets out the cage. The trumpets in the music cause a little sense of evil. Before the end of the music it sound like your floating or in heaven.

 

Apocalypse now

In the apocalypse now the music is like a raining bombs warning but when the get to the land and the explosions happen it sounds like they’re in the middle of a war and there taking heavy fire. The music in the land area is like we are like champions because its as if they bombed the small village for fun also the music makes it feel like you can do anything you want and it makes the bad guys look good at the same time.

ALIEN

In Alien the music is quite tense and makes you feel terrified to be where you are also it makes you think that it’s coming up behind you and it makes you really feel like you in the horror movie as well. The noise in the music makes you feel scared for the woman that’s about to be killed. At the start of the music playing it was just the actors talking and like a big eerie room.
